Reply to comment by artificialavocado in What can Philadelphia do as PA’s sole Class 1 city that Pittsburgh PA’s sole Class 2 city can’t? by [deleted]

I always wondered about the accents. I would say we have about 6 classes of accents, and some variation within them, but I always wonder if I only notice because I'm here and familiar with it. If I lived in Oklahoma would I be more in tune with their differences?

I grew up in the “coal region” there is a highly distinct accent and culture there.

Agreed. There's also a very distinct Delco accent, an accent for the sort of Chambersburg to Altoona stretch, one for Lancaster/dutch country, one for Pittsburgh, one for Philly, and then sort of an "all the rest" accent.
